The Fine Brothers come to Fullscreen by way of Revision3. The pair signed with the Discovery Networks owned and operated video sharing site and YouTube network back in September 2012. But that was before Revision3 acquired Phil DeFranco Creative and started to focus on building its own properties within the DeFranco (e.g. ForHumanPeoples) and Discovery (e.g. TestTube) empires. It was also before The Fine Bros. hit one billion views and consistently ranked very high on the charts. The duo presumably signed a one year deal with Revision3 and, when it was up, looked at their place within the network and the online video landscape and then decided to explore other network options. Fullscreen obviously proved the best fit, the best at courting the brothers Fine, or both.

There’s a limited amount of Top 100 YouTube channels, especially if you take into account those that are not part of Vevo’s music network. Picking up creators like the the Benny and Rafi Fine is a big score for Fullscreen. Don’t be surprised if the network has equally big plans for them.

Fullscreen and The Fine Bros. declined to comment for the story, while Revision3 was unavailable. We’ll update the article with any relevant information if and when we hear back.
